Theme: Still RevolutionPhotographers should submit images that will explore the ever-evolving manifestations of photographic imagery that influence the way we see the world today. CONTACT918 creates an international online forum for photographers, and will be launched live as a digital projection for the Contact Photography festival. It emerges as an exciting digital playground that connects photographers and communities by linking the virtual with the physical. Live rotating projections will occur every Saturday in May, showcasing the images that have been submitted by a global network of photographers. Photographers are invited to upload images at www.contact918.com to be included as part of a slideshow, which will run at 918 Bathurst for the month of May 2009.
